Officine Panerai: People alway bring up Rolex & Patek are also at Costco. The Difference

The difference is Patek & Rolex actually sell quick at Costco. The costco I been to have the same Panerai for months. Check the serial number come back 3 months later check again will be the same ones. The prices are still high compared to market prices for the same models.

Officine Panerai: 318 was announced April 29, 2009 , NY boutique opened in December 2008
